Feeling as a yellow lemon

Growing up on a basket full of green lemmons when you realize you are a yellow one, is not always easy.There are plenty of things you have to go through to prove that even when you are a lemmon, the things you carry inside are not the same the rest is carrying.

I am almost 26 years old and everyday, I discover things that makes me be so different than the person i though Iwas. Many things marked my life and it´s obvious that this year, many others will be added to my long list of experiences that made me become who I am.

To be born at a latin american home is not easy, I dont regret i did. In fact, I am more than proud of my race, my language, my nationality. But I have to admit that being an independent woman is really tought, specially in a society where man don't comprehend the difference between being a slave and a good wife, female, company,etc.

I love doing what I do here, getting dirty by the dust or sweat when we travel to the communities to bring help to those who are soo close to God's heart... The truth is, that I would trade anything I have to keep doing that and I wouldn[t mind to leave on a side the "social"commitments .

My life seems to be taking a different road, way beyond the one I dreamed about before, or totally different to the one I imagined, when I turned 9 and meet those missionaries who impacted my heart by teaching me how to see cultures through the people's heart.

But, in order to reach what is on the next door of my journey I must be determined to step on the gap.

See, when God calls an ordinary person for something extraordinary, all He asks is to have faith and take the risk to trust that He will lead you to the next level.

A very wise man told me few years ago that failure is not an option for any human been.Well, i believe Failure is not an option for any child of the Lord. When He calls, he provides, he transforms cultural situations, he organize thoughts, ideas, etc; .

Just to use someone as ordinary as you and me to do extraordinary things you never imagined.

So next time you feel like the only yellow lemmon on the basket, remember God has called you to the BIG LEAGUES; so leave your comfort zone and let Jesus walk on your shoes.
